Posted on 30 September 2018

Are you heading in a new direction? Or you need to revitalize your energy? Amid storms of negativity, it’s vital to remain positive. Motivation is the backbone of our determination. To remain motivated, find ways to practice self-care in every day activities — meditate, read a book, renew yourself energetically, and take care of your space. Remind yourself of the beauty and power within you. At times, we are paralyzed by fear or the lack of clarity for the road ahead. We certainly need the words and encouragement that fuel our life. That’s why it’s a good moment to stop and read the words of women we admire.
